• The DHCP server is enabled on the adaptive security appliance, so a PC
connecting to the interface receives an address between 192.168.1.2 and
192.168.1.254.
• The HTTP server is enabled for ASDM and is accessible to users on the
192.168.1.0 network.
The configuration consists of the following commands:
interface management 0/0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
nameif management
security-level 100
no shutdown
asdm logging informational 100

dhcpd address 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254 management
dhcpd lease 3600
dhcpd ping_timeout 750

Using the CLI for Configuration
In addition to the ASDM web configuration tool, you can configure the adaptive
security appliance by using the command-line interface.
For step-by-step configuration procedures for all functional areas of the adaptive
security appliance, see the
Cisco Security Appliance Command Line
Configuration Guide.
Using the Adaptive Security Device Manager for
Configuration
The Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) is a feature-rich graphical
interface that allows you to manage and monitor the adaptive security appliance.
The web-based design provides secure access so that you can connect to and
manage the adaptive security appliance from any location by using a web browser.
